"This is hate and we have to stop hate and hate will be stopped in Stamford, and West Hartford and in other communities. When we come together and have rallies like this we will make everyone understand that we will not stand by while you pick on our friends our neighbors and those that we love," said Governor Malloy.

Similar rallies were held in New Haven, Waterbury, Simsbury and several other communities throughout the state.

Joel Leyden, who runs "Jews Against Hate", created a change.org petition. If enough people sign it, a petition would be sent to Congress asking them to designate Neo-Nazis and the Alt-Right as terror organizations.
